[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am actually the othe co chair. Not Ms Mayfield. The property sold undervalue based on its appraisal, the size of the land and consultation with real estate agents. As for the The Washington Home's financial woes no one except The Wash Home, invluding The Post, knows the particulars of those vis a vis the long term care people being displaced because TWH won't disclose them and are not required to parse out where their losses come from on their 990s. I encourage you to read our letter on p 15 of the NW Current i believe Oct 6 or 7 before you accuse the victim here or cry sour grapes. Unlike virtually any of the people on this list I am willing to both disclose my identity and my interest. I suggest those engaging in name calling do a little research and then turn that magnifying glass on themselves.  And I would encourage everyone blindly defending either institution to dig down into [b]what their interest was in excluding residents and their families from the process.[/b] [/quote]

While I'm not defending TWH, it's pretty understandable what their interest was.  The minute that they disclosed that they were in a process to close and sell the facility, they would have started to hemorrhage staff and patients and accelerated into a downward spiral, without any assurance that they were going to sign a purchase contract.  This is perhaps not fair from the standpoint of the patients and their family members, but makes sense from the institution's perspective.[/quote]
